Kiara Moreno First time coming here and I loved the service! I cant remember her name but the nail tech I had was super sweet and went over her work over and over making sure it was right and asked me if it was okay too. 10/10 I would recommend this place and come back again for Halloween nails. This set was $65 and I left her a $20 tip. Edit: 8/28 only a week and I lost 2 nails already.

Mary Ann Perez Amazing pedicures everytime I go! Owner always tries to accommodate so you dont wait or lets you know if it is better to come back.

Sarah Twamley Famiky business! The owner sits up front and still does nails whilst greeting guests and explaining services. I had a mani-pedi and was referred by a long time Chula Vista regular. Massage chairs worked my back and neck (you must lean back fully and RELAX) and lower leg massage performed by manicurist. I chose gel polish for hands and regular polish for nails. Nami, the daughter, kindly educated me on the various types of nails they offer. She was so nice to have conversation with. For super creative ideas, check out their website!!! *Two-hour parking meters around the shop, so it is best to park in the garage across the street(behind the gym) for three FREE hours.

Cindy Trujillo My go-to nail spot has always been my favorite because of the incredible combination of friendly service, professionalism, and efficiency. The staff consistently make me feel welcome from the moment I walk in, greeting me with warm smiles and making sure I’m comfortable. They take the time to listen to my preferences, offering expert advice when needed, and always deliver exactly what I ask for.

jackyly dayto Love the customer service. They made sure that I wasnt in pain during the removal of previous acrylic and made sure that I wasnt uncomfortable during the cleaning. I got exactly what I wanted for my full set. This shop is 10/10 worth the money for pedicure as well. They gave the longest massage which is really nice. Quality and Service is worth every penny.

Joanna Thomas So, I called this place a few weeks before making a trip out for my wedding. Originally I wanted to get nails and lashes done here, but the lash tech had just left on a month long vaca right before I called, and wouldnt be back until the week after my wedding. No big deal. I was able to schedule a nail appointment, and the location was right around the corner from our airbnb. The customer service was awesome...at first. The, I believe, owner, called me the day before to see if I could come in even earlier...absolutely! So, I show up and ask for an ombre full-set and show her my inspo pic. She tells me how shes gonna do it, milky white and then add glitter on top. I said, no, this is supposed to be glitter first, and then milky on top. She said, no, trust me, Ive done this before. Then she asked how long I wanted my nails, I showed her, and she cut them much longer, but told me when she shaped them shed file a lot off. She asked shape and I told her square, to which she said shed give me coffin. I said, no, I want square, I dont like coffin on fingers. She said, it will look much better, and I said, no, it wont. I dont like how it looks on me. She acts like she agrees. She proceeds to do my nails, barely filing anything off, and shaping them coffin. Near what she thought was the end she says, "what do you think?" I said they needed to be much shorter, and showed her, again, where I wanted them. She got visibly frustrated and told me I should have said something earlier. I told her I did and she told me shed file a lot off. She had other customers starting to arrive, so she had to fix it quickly, so luckily I did not end up with coffin because she had to cut and file so much that they ended up square (yay for me). But, the end result looks very little like the inspo pic. The only saving grace was that, even with tip (and I typically tip well regardless...I just tip VERY well if Im happy), I spent less than expected. Like, with tip, was less than the price for the service shown online. 1st two attached photos are a couple of the inspo pics. The last is the final result of my nails.

David Martinez I had to post another review for this spot. Every time I bring my daughter, she pushes the limits on what she wants done, and every time Daisy Nails & Spa delivers! And they are very kind to top it off. Highly recommend this place.

Karely Fierro I love this nail salon so much. I have been going there for a couple years and I love to challenge Alex with new nail art requests and he excels every time. Definitely recommend this place!
5 /5
Stephanie Cadenas it took almost 3 hours just to get some medium square acrylic French tips. Also had to stay an hour after closing. Once the time came to apply the French tips, the stylist tried to convince me to go with another style. I’m guessing because French tip takes longer. Mind you I had already told the stylist that I wanted French tip since the beginning of the service my nails look like they’re different lengths, they don’t look clean, just overall don’t look good. I had to fix them and file them when I got home myself. My friend however got her nails soaked off, and got a full new set and they finished with her faster then me, and left very happy with her nails. As for me. no.

franzelle macapinlac Alex!!!!! He is the best and never fails! I am extremely pleased with my nails every time I visit! I always bring inspiration for my design, and Alex never fails to execute it perfectly. The attention to detail and the quality of work are consistently top-notch. I also have a pedicure done with each visit. All staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!!!

Brandy Cousineau I am so happy I found this salon! Alex never disappoints me. His attention to detail is out of this world. The shape of my nails turns out perfect every time. Not only is the shape perfection but the designs are top notch. If you’re looking for a salon look no further.

Joselin Reyes I have been coming here to get my pedicures for the better part of about a year. The first few times I went in the service was good. The last few times I have gone in, it had always been one thing or another. The second to last time I came, I asked for a deluxe pedicure and was charged the most expensive one. I paid regardless for the services but was not happy with the miscommunication from the nail tech. She also rubbed my legs so hard with her nails that she left nail marks on my legs. This most recent visit, my husband came with me to get a pedicure. We both received express pedicures. The nail tech who did his pedicure did not ask how much he wanted to cut and left his nails extremely short. He says they hurt when he walks around from how short they are. He was also wincing a lot when his nail tech was removing the skin from the sides of the toes and said it was painful. We are extremely dissatisfied with how they look. I waited for my pedicure as all staff were busy and I didnt mind. What I do mind is being harassed and questioned as to why I am getting an express pedicure and not a deluxe. I was also called cheap when I said I did not want gel polish since I wanted to give my nails a break. They have felt flimsy and thin since most of the time they file the color and dont do a soak off. She also left my nails uneven. We paid for our services and left. We will not be back, and I would recommend you to look somewhere else.

T. S. I came to this place to get a refill done for my civil wedding the next day. I had the classic ombré (as most of the time) and asked for the same style. He went in and started taking off the acrylic. After he only used a nude colour to fill up tge bottom of the nails and the tips had tge white colour from my refill before in. After ONE week exactly I realized that under my right ring finger there is a very dark spot unter the acrylic nail. I went immediately to the store to grab some items to remove that nail. Only to find out there is a nail fungus! I removed all the nails. Worst nail salon I’ve ever been to! 40$ service + 5$ tip and this is what you gut. Super disgusting. Never again!

Tress The first time I came here, I wasnt happy when I left. The girl cut my toenails way too short. I decided to go back and try again, all I had to do was communicate better myself what I wanted. I really cant expect them to read my mind. Ive been back a bunch since then, and theyre great. As long as I communicate, I get what I want. Theyre a very clean facility. The service providers are very kind, and take great pride in their work. The massage chairs are great too. This is the only place I go for my nails now.

Juana J The spot is clean, it looks a like the have a drink station, (they didn’t offer me anything, not sure if you have to pay extra), and the place is very nice, the staff seems friendly. However, my problem is the my nail tech was trying to rush through my manicure. I asked for a simple manicure with polish. The sides of my nails were not done, the polish didn’t start at the cuticle, not even close on some fingers. I did ask her to go back and fix the sides (I’m one of those ppl who NEVER asks to get my nails fixed but it was just that bad) and also bring the polish closer to the cuticle bc my nails grow really fast and I didn’t want them to look overgrown in just a day or 2. She did what I asked and was friendly about it. It wasn’t until after I left that I noticed my other hand was also not polished precisely. It’s just a bummer bc I wanted to treat myself and I literally could have done a better job at home.

Lakeisha Harris Lynn did an amazing job on my nails. I was skeptical based off of the reviews, but I’m glad I went. I found my new nail tech and salon. The only downfall is they charge $25 to make an appointment (yes the fee goes towards your service). I understand why they do this but if you’re using your credit card there is a 3% fee, and then once you pay after your service there’s another 3% fee. Hence the reason for 4 stars vice 5. Received hard gel over my nails.

Regine Cline This might be my new favorite nail spot! Its very pricey, but youre paying for the experience. I got a gel manicure and pedicure. Total ended up being $124. Wow, ouch. I know! Story time - the Camila pastel candy nail polish (I posted a picture of it) caught my eye when I walked in. So of course, me being me, always extra, doing the most , I wanted the pink bottom right color for Valentines Day. Before they painted my nails, they said it would cost $10 extra. So I ended up going with it because its so cute!! Would I get it again? Probably not. I always like to change it up. Anyways, hanna did my pedicure. I opted for the $49 pedicure experience because treat yoself, am I right ladies? Her massage was great and I loved the products she put on my legs and feet! It had a heavenly eucalyptus smell and my skin was soo soft after. Lynn did my manicure. I normally do acrylic long nails, but Im a mom now. I opted for short gel nails and it turned out super natural and cute. Vibes - 10 out of 10. It was quiet and quaint. The wine was good. And all the employees were super friendly. The smells in there alone made it feel like a spa. Ill probably be back :)

I have been going to Angel the only nail stylist that works there for the past 11 years never had I ever had a problem with my nails and always spend 100+ anytime I told her I didn’t like them or if she could add or change, she would never had a problem until yesterday September 11, 2024 went to get my nails done like I usually do every two weeks and when I went to tell her that I didn’t like something on my nails mind you I showed her the picture before I asked her to do the set. She told me she could do it When we were finished it wasn’t what I wanted so I asked her if she could fix it. I’m a rhinestone girl and a nail art person so all I did was ask her if she could add a couple rhinestones to fill out the butterfly so they can look like butterflies they didn’t look like butterflies at all she upfront told me no I’m not doing it it’s too much if you want it you’re gonna pay more we had already agreed on a price when I showed her the inspiration picture I had no rhinestones on my nails and the picture I showed her had rhinestones and flowers again when I asked her can you please fix it. It’s what I’m paying for. She told me it’s too much. I’m not gonna do it , so I told her you know what I’m sorry I do not like them. I Don’t like them. proceeds to grab my hand and yank me towards her so hard my phone went flying. My AirPods went flying. She knocked over all of her nail powders and equipment in the process of yanking me towards her. She broke my phone screen and threaten to cut my nails off I told her no we don’t need to cut them off. I just want them to be fixed a little bit, then proceeded to start breaking her equipment i got up and walked out. I did not pay for her services. She was very unprofessional very disrespectful and she laid her hands on me again I spend over $120 with her each time I go get my nails done , I will never go to her again after 11 years. I have never been treated the way she treated me. And I am a very loyal client I have never in years, went to another nail tech, and now I have too jump around and find a new nail tech.i had to go to the nail salon down the street to get my nails fixed.

I Don’t like them. proceeds to grab my hand and yank me towards her so hard my phone went flying. My AirPods went flying. She knocked over all of her nail powders and equipment in the process of yanking me towards her. She broke my phone screen and threaten to cut my nails off I told her no we don’t need to cut them off. I just want them to be fixed a little bit, then proceeded to start breaking her equipment i got up and walked out. I did not pay for her services. She was very unprofessional very disrespectful and she laid her hands on me again I spend over $120 with her each time I go get my nails done , I will never go to her again after 11 years. I have never been treated the way she treated me. And I am a very loyal client I have never in years, went to another nail tech, and now I have too jump around and find a new nail tech.i had to go to the nail salon down the street to get my nails fixed. An I’m currently replacing my phone screen NEVER AGAIN WILL I SPEND MONEY WITH YOU ANGEL….

Mayra Garza Tammy did a wonderful job I am beyond happy with how many nails look. Not everyone works the same. So if you’ve had a bad experience ask for Tammy she hears you she takes her time she ask if you’re satisfied she understands and her main focus is that we like how are nails look: if you explain to her she literally pays attention to everything and doesn’t interrupt you by saying yes yes aha okay. She actually does the best!

Kaiah I wouldn’t recommend against this place or for it either. This place is VERY hit and miss. I’ve had great services and also bad service. Today, I couldn’t believe how I was treated. I’m sorry to say, but the male nail techs here are not satisfactory. I’ve had two sets from both of them and they were not professional looking either time. As you can tell in the first image, the edges weren’t even straight or crisp. Keep in mind this was after they were fixed, so they were worse before this picture. I was very kind and gentle with my feedback on my service because I still plan on coming back just with different nail techs. I asked him about the things I wanted fixed (I asked for the polish to reach the very top of my nail plate because the way he painted it looked 3 weeks grown out) and he told me it wasn’t possible, when I told him I’m a nail tech myself and I know that it is possible and that I understand, he told me “if you want them repainted, you can paint them yourself” I said “I’m not sure what you mean by that, what did you just say?” And he took back what he said right away and said he’d do it for me. But when he did, he was throwing my hands and super rough and made me bleed. He grabbed my wallet and keys by himself and threw them on someone else’s nail desk and told me someone else was going to help me. I could tell he was upset because he was rolling his eyes and talking under his breath and it made me feel like crying. I felt like such a nuisance. Mimi was awesome and very apologetic in helping me fix what she could and holly is very gentle and sweet for pedicures. There’s another woman there who fixed my last set aswell and she was great too, from now on, I’ll ask for my nail tech by name. But $70 for what I walked out with and the time I had was disappointing.

Melissa smith Update- went back a few weeks later. Little less happy with gel manicure, didnt notice till I got home but one nail had a air bubble on the side that raised up and chipped that same day. French manicure the white lines had very little curve to them. My biggest concern is there where several people getting pedicures next to me, all the nail technicians kept getting new sanitized tools from the sealed bags but one lady twice just went to the sink and wiped hers down with a paper towel. None of the other technicians either noticed or said anything to her. First 2 pics from first visit, second 2 from second visit. 1st visit -Got a gel manicure with old gel polish removed. These use the grinding tool for removal but didnt dig into the natural nail, so they still felt strong before painting. Great job shaping the nails into almond and I got a large white stripe. Gotta the deluxe pedicure 48$, the tech spent a good amount of time cleaning up the nails, sides and shaping. I was very happy.

Rainy Eames Ive never been so unhappy with my nails. Came in with a photo of exactly what I wanted, and ended up with the shortest acrylics ever, and an uneven paint job, where there are huge gaps on all sides of the nail. These are freshly done and look like theyre a week or two old... (included photo of what I wanted at the end) Ill give them credit for caring and trying to make it right by taking 10% off, but I will still never go back. An extra star for a very sweet staff, but still very poor work.

Sheena Hart Came in to repair a broken nail, when Yumi saw how my whole nails were done, she recommended getting them redone because it didn’t look good at all (which I knew). They were done at another salon and I was completely unhappy with it but because of timing I left with what was done. Thanks to Yumi and Jessica, my nails came out looking flawless. I love them! They are definitely my go-to spot. All the girls there are nice and friendly.

Tress I want to say, everyone was very nice. The service provided was done so with the greatest of customer service, and for that I am very pleased. I imagine this is the kind of place a bridal party would go for mimosas, while they get their nails done for a wedding... Since Im not looking to drink while I get my nails done and part of the experience Im looking for is the massage, foot and chair, to top off, the prices are higher than average, I personally wont be returning. The shop looks like it was really nice when it opened. Although, the decor has lost its luster, which seems to be the main appeal after the fact that its an actual bar that serves alcohol. My nails came out fine, no better than anywhere else Ive been, but about 10-15% more expensive. The girl who did my nails was really nice but very light handed. I didnt feel the message, and thats my favorite part. The chairs are oversized and comfortable, but theyre not massage chairs. I ended up going to Happy Head after. Again, I had no issues with the service or any of the people that work there, this place just isnt for me.

Melina Izabella Panagiotou Although my nail tech did an excellent job, my review isn’t for the nail tech nor result. I had booked online with a specific nail tech for a acrylic fill with gel color for $58 (which in my opinion is already pricey but I was prepared to pay it to experience a new salon with possibly a higher quality result) When I sat down, she quoted my nails $70. I was in shock and confused at whether or not she was making a mistake or not. I thought to myself, “maybe this isn’t the nail tech I requested” or “maybe she thinks I have requested a design, hence the extra charge” That was not the case, the reason was because the original nail set was not done by her and it would require “more work”. What is unfair in this experience is I was UNAWARE of how they price when I thought the charge would be $58 as it stated online. I expressed to the nail tech that I still would like to continue being that I arranged and scheduled my time to dedicate that hour to my nails and would not be able to come another time/day. Overall, as I mentioned earlier, she did a great job but the stores policy is not fair. Be aware that the price they state is not always what you will pay for reasons apparently they only know.

jasmine smalls I wanted to take a moment to provide some feedback regarding my recent visit to your establishment. Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation for your policy allowing customers to return within 10 days if they encounter any issues with their nails. However, I must convey my disappointment with the quality of service I received during my visit on Sunday. Upon browsing your online portfolio, I was impressed by the pristine quality of the nail work showcased. However, the reality of my experience fell far short of these expectations. Within mere days of my visit, the nail polish began to crack and chip, leaving me dissatisfied with the longevity of the service. Furthermore, I observed that the application of both nail and toe polish was noticeably uneven, indicating a rushed and subpar execution of the job. As a paying customer, it is disheartening to invest in a service only to find the results do not meet the standards advertised by the company. I believe it is essential for a business to uphold the standards depicted on their website, as this forms the basis of customer expectations. Regrettably, my recent experience at Boudair Nail Bar has left me feeling let down. I trust that you value customer feedback and will take the necessary steps to address these concerns, ensuring future patrons receive the quality of service they rightfully expect.

Apryl Garcia A friend of mine and her daughter decided to go get a pedicures and a full set she lives across the street from the nail shop. Upon arrival the employees were warm certain extent we told them what we wanted it was a bit of confusion however myself and my friends daughter whos 12 by the way received a pedicure additionally her mother had a full set put on. Now during the time of my pedicure I dropped my phone from the seat onto the floor long story short my phone cracked and apparently the same tray somewhat opened and card shifted fast forward its time for payment and Im having issues with my phone being that I pay for my phone using G pay I let the lady know what was going on shes very condescending in the fact kept asking me if I was ready to pay ready to pay if shes clearly she seen me that I was having issues with my phone now let me just say I did have a card on me however I lock my cards therefore if Im going to pay from either my phone and or my card it needs to be unlocked for reasons Im not going to get into she then proceeded to run the card when I told her I had an unlocked it yet and she thought it was funny kept asking me if I was ready to pay as if though to insinuate I didnt have the money to do so mind you had already giving her a cash tip her and the gentleman that performed services for the pedicures long story short what I had to do was I had to pop out the century adjust the SIM card and restart the phone which I did and voila I was up and ready to pay for services provided in between that time another guest had come in and she was sitting there as if to mock me with the guest saying that I hadnt paid yet because of my phone issues I felt that she was very unprofessional and I will never ever ever go there again and its sad because the convenience is just I mean you cant beat it as far as location wise I will say that the owner whom I believe was the owner she did the design on my toenails she was somewhat more pleasant I think she felt the energy it was wasnt good and her employee was totally unprofessional again I would never ever go there again and I would recommend for the public do not have services rendered there due to the fact that employee was totally unprofessional at one point I really I was angry upon rectifying the issue she ran my card no problem but doing that time she was very condescending and as though poking fun at me as though I was lying and I didnt have a job to pay for my services rendered. Unprofessional very unprofessional. Then to top it off the cost from my pedicure was $50 and I agreed to pay for my friends daughters hers her pedicure being $45 yet somehow I was charged $102 $2 for the card usage fee thats still would be 97 not 102 get with it and hire better employees accommodating employees. Also forgot to mention the gentleman who did perform my pedicure for me he was awesome very nice very gentle great polish skills thank you sir hats off to you but to the woman who painted my friends daughters nails who kept pulling her foot telling her not to move find a better line of work that suits you cuz you are definitely not a people person

Paul Batezan I and my wife have only lived in Las Vegas for a week so we were searching Yelp for a nail salon. My wife EXTREMELY picky about her nails so I was going thru the reviews with a fine tooth comb. I came across Nail Time & Spa and was very impressed with the reviews. I decided to give it a try. I booked an appointment online which was very easy. I had chosen one nail tech but I got a call that she wasnt available. I told them that my wife was picky about my nails and asked for someone who was very good. The receptionist said she was going to book me with Julie because she was "one of the best". Let me tell you that statement was TRUE!! When we walked in, we loved the look and vibe of the salon. I was offered something to drink and everyone was very nice. Julie was finishing up a pedi so another tech filed my wife gel polish off. She was very sweet. Then Julie came over. Nice, personable, listened to what I wanted and delivered!!

Niki Anstrand I am so glad Alebrijes is so close to my home. I have been coming here for almost two years now, and Sandra does an absolutely amazing job on my nails every single time (I have gotten sculpture gel and acrylic nails with gel polish, both shiny and matte styles in a variety of colors). I have also gotten pedicures from multiple women who work here and my toes always come out amazing, and everyone who works here has been really kind and welcoming to me. I even recently brought one of my best friends who was visiting from Florida to come get a pedicure with me from Alebrijes, and not only did she love how her pedicure came out, but she also said the salon was the most beautiful nail salon she had ever been in, which I absolutely agree with. You can definitely tell that all the women who work at Alebrijes take a lot of pride in their work, and the beauty, cleanliness and atmosphere of the salon. I was surprised tonight to see that there are some negative reviews on here from people saying that there was no parking or that they didnt like that the salon is appointment only. I come here every two weeks, and my appointments have been all different days of the week and times of day, and there is always parking right around the corner at Santa Venetia park, I have literally never had a single issue finding basically half the parking lot open there. Of course, if youre only looking to park in the spaces right in front of the salon youll have an issue, because those spots are notoriously always taken, but the park I park at is only a minute and a half walk from the salon, is free and always has spots so I always go straight there. I have also always had a good experience with their online booking, it is super easy to add services or guests, but I do make sure to try to book ahead for my fills because they are very popular and its important to book ahead of time if you have a busy schedule. The fact that they are appointment-only is a good sign to me, because they provide high-quality service and therefore are busy because they are in high demand. Also, their sugar scrub that they give you to wash your hands with after a manicure smells AMAZING, I always leave Alebrijes super happy and relaxed. I very highly recommend this salon and will continue to be a customer and bring my friends for spa days for as long as I live in the area.

Mariko Ladrillono I had my eyelash permed(lifted) and it was one of the worst ones Ive had. I asked for natural curls (thats what the girl recommended to me too) but I ended up having my eyelashes curled almost 90 degrees. I waited to see if the curls soften as time passed but no, they were damaged. Some of my lashes were curled so awkwardly that they started poking my eyes. I even had to pull some out myself. Im so disappointed by the result and upset that I have to deal with this until my lashes fall off. *You can see in the picture how my lashes were permed. They were definitely not NATURALLY curled.

Niki A. I was looking for a new nail place since moving to the area and I am so glad I found Alebrijes! Sandra did a beautiful job on my nails (sculpture gel/hard gel fill manicure) and she was really careful about asking me if I had any discomfort throughout the process and making sure I was comfortable. She also did a beautiful job on the shape of my nails (I like almond shape), and made sure I liked the shape before applying color (which I did because she did a fantastic job). I love that they give you a sugar scrub for your hands after the manicure as well. The pedicure was amazing, and Jessica asked me if I wanted the sugar scrub added which I did. I definitely recommend the sugar scrub because it was amazing and smelled really nice. She was meticulous and did an amazing job of making my toes look beautiful. The inside of the shop was bright and clean and welcoming. I will definitely be going back as a regular in the future! Bonus: it is right next to a Taco Shop!

Angela Garcia Got a gift certificate from my sister in law to this spa. I tried to make an appointment on line but it wouldnt go through. So I called and made an appointment. My technician was very quite, not really talkative. Very clean, nice facility. I had a gel manicure, and spa pedicure. The manicure was beautiful. I didnt really feel I got a good scrub down of my calluses on my feet though. I had ordered the callus remover and she forgot. I reminded her and she turned around and looked at the manager to confirm. After the manger said, yes I had ordered it, then She put the callus remover on my feet and then stuck my feet in the water straight away. I asked if that was going to be effective and she said yes. I was confused because no one had ever done that at any other salon. Besides that, they offered me water or wine, which was nice. The manager was very attentive and kind as well. I liked the way the mani pedi turned out. Very pretty and matched nicely. When I went to pay, the manager didnt know how to apply the gift certificate on their computer system. So it took a while to figure out. I had 18 dollars left over from my certificate, and she just rounded it off to 20 for my next visit. She couldnt reprint the certificate so she just signed my copy with a 20 dollar credit. It was a nice visit over all. As Im leaving my online appointment goes through. Lol. I had to ask her if they were going to charge my card because the appointment had just gone through. She said not to worry about it, if there was any issues to come back and shed resolve it.

Narda Reyes I had a really disappointing experience at this nail salon. The service was super rushed, and the staff was rude from the start. The nail technician didn’t cut my cuticles or did a mani, and the whole process felt unprofessional. I chose a clear color, so I understand that it wasn’t their fault—but there was no design, no extra effort, nothing special at all. Yet, they charged me $69 for this! I honestly don’t understand how a plain color with minimal work could cost that much. The total service lasted about 30 mins... On top of that, when I paid with my credit card, I wasn’t even given the option to leave a tip. The nail technician then said something in her language in a rude tone—I have no idea what it meant, but it didn’t sound good. That was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. After reading other reviews, I see that I’m not the only one being overcharged. Some people mentioned paying $100 for a simple color that chipped right away. Prices like this are ridiculous and feel like an abuse of customers. A salon should charge fairly for the work they actually do and treat clients with respect. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Dee Robbins I really loved going to this salon. I was a regular customer going faithfully every other week. I’m starting to notice inconsistency in the prices for my nails. I keep my nails short and I usually pay $35 for my fills. This past time I was charged more and I did not get anything extra. I notice that they do not have a price list posted for their services. I truly believe that they make up prices as they go. One visit your nails are $35 another time they charge you $40+. It’s honestly sad that they do this to loyal customers. For the most part, they do a really great job on my nails and feet. I just got a bad vibe when the guy behind the register charged me more for my basic nails. I usually always tip, but this particular time I did not tip. They’re either adding in their own tip, or being dishonest and overcharging customers. It would be nice if they had a price list posted for customers to see what they charge. Unfortunately, I have decided not to go back. I am now on the hunt for an HONEST salon to do my nails.

Andrea F I use to be a regular but I got tired of the straight attitude by one of the Ladies there. Unfortunately and for whatever reason every time I go they have her help me. I assume cause I dont have an appt so walk ins beware. But I actually stopped coming for 2 months, so today I thought lets give them another chance and sure enough Im pared with the grouch. She sees obviously mold on my nail and as always hurts me yells then points at my nail. I see the mold and any smart technician would see this an advise a acrylic removal with acetone she wanted to drill it off I asked her not too and got upset. I wanted to pay to have them removed in a manner it wouldnt hurt me and she got mad upset an attitude. Then said I remember you and put her hand up at my face. Worse service ever, the nails arent even good I went just for the sticker variety. But honestly dont go here not worth your time or money. You will leave with INFECTION.

evelyn rodriguez I went today (walk-in) and the guy gladly took me in. He asked me to choose a color and as i was trying to pick ( less than 1 minute) he hands me a pallet and says "here, choose from this one" and guides me to his chair... i stopped half way and said "but i dont like any of these colors" and walked back to where all the pallets were at, and grab one i liked. Took me less than 2 minutes. When he was done shaping my tips from first hand, i asked him to make 1 nail more pointy, as it was round, instead of almond. He lookd at me and with an attitude he filed it down. When he was done with the second hand, i did the same, as another nail was very round. He looked at me, turned back and threw his nail file in his cart, got up and said, "someone else will help you" he then started saying something to another nail tech, she came to me and said "its ok, ill help you" i was shocked...worst customer service ever!

Stephi Stine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ fantastic experience today with my mom and aunt! Welcoming staff*, Beautifully decorated, Clean space, Price is Right, Our Nails look Great. One highlight that set this salon apart were the complimentary drinks! It was the perfect touch for our girls day out—enjoying a glass of Champagne while getting pampered truly elevated the experience. I treated myself to the regular deluxe pedicure (absolutely worth it!), my mom got a classic manicure, and my aunt chose a regular French pedicure with just a $10 upgrade. We all left with stunning nails! *However, I do want to mention that while my mom’s male technician did a good job with her manicure, his customer service was lacking. Which too away from the experience. I would recommend looking for another technician for a more personable experience. Overall, we had a wonderful time and I highly recommend for a complete top-notch nail salon experience—just be mindful of who you book with.

Brianna Haughton In terms of customer service, I would rate this place 5 stars. They are very nice people and I truly believe they want all their customers to feel welcome. Unfortunately, I have two cuts on different toes that are still very painful after several hours. I have worries that the tools used may not have been properly sanitized so I have applied a topical antibiotic to my toes just in case. Also, some of the towels used need to be sanitized or replaced completely because they have a very unpleasant smell that took away from what was otherwise a good pedicure.

Tatiana Bello I tried VIP Nails and Spa on urgency. It is a nice place, welcoming, tight/smaller size nail salon. Happy vibe over all. I came in on a Wednesday night around 6PM, as they close at 7. I was seen by one of their techs Miso. Friendly tech, but she wasn’t really getting the idea of how short I wanted my nails (I showed her a picture for reference). She did leave them medium long, and I wanted short short. I like the most natural nail look. She had added diamonds on my ring fingers for 5 extra dollars. The nails were not all even and did not match one another. I came back the next day to get them fixed. All the gems had popped of and the glue was not done properly. The top coat was groovy and did not have the slick clean look. The ones in the picture are from the tech who fixed my nails (Helen), and she did a beautiful job with extra short nails. She cleaned up the ombré, and clean leveled all the acrylic down to edge my cuticles. Top coat was redone and she filed them short, how I originally wanted them. The 3 *s is from the over all experience. The night before I told the tech I needed them short and shorter, but she thought that was short enough, so I did not argue with her. The diamonds were last minute add on, and it was late already to tell her to take them of. The gems were crooked, and like I mentioned, by the next morning they were all gone. I appreciate they let another tech clean up my nails, and I would give her 4 stars, but the drill bits she was using came from a soiled container. Not the cleanses of place, but it is decent.

Mizz Mom This is now my go-to nail shop! Today was my first time here and while the shop was busy, I was attended to right away. Dandy gave me a Perfect full set and was very nice, personable, quick but not rushed. Nails are Flawless! Tina was Amazing! She took care of my horrendously disfigured dead toenail and made it beautiful again. Whats even more impressive is, in the last couple of decades of getting my excessive ingrown toenails removed during pedicures, Tina is the very first person to remove them without any pain, Ever! Amazing! To top it all off, they did not charge me an arm and a leg either, I called every nail shop in Eastlake prior to coming here and VIP nails is definitely the most reasonably priced. I am definitely going to be a frequent customer, highly recommend Dandy and Tina!

Marla Arciniega I know that trusting others with clipping my nails is a risk. I know mistakes happen. What I don’t appreciate about this place is that they really tried to make me believe I walked in with a “stubbed toe and broken nail” when really my nail tech made a mistake. She tried to cut straight across rather than realizing I have a curbed nail with curbed tissue. When I realized her mistake we went back and forth for a bit then the manager stepped in to repeat that I had stubbed my toe when clearly you can see the clean cut from the clippers. I liked the place, clean and staff is friendly but I did not appreciate the way they handled this mistake. I’m glad I’m not injured.

I went in within the same week and did not get them corrected, but rather paid $25 this time to get them redone. Went with a basic clear color with glitter to avoid the gel coming off so quick.

X Joseph (Joe) was fully intending to leave a five-star review, as the pedicure started off great. However, the experience with the manicure was completely out of line and unprofessional. I highly recommend that anyone visiting this salon ask for pricing upfront to avoid surprises. The pedicure itself was excellent—almost an hour of service for $65, plus I tipped an additional $20. However, the manicure was disappointing. As a male client, I don’t require nail polish, just a quick buff-in, which was only done on my hands and took about two or three minutes. No cuticle softener was applied, and my cuticles weren’t pushed back, just quickly trimmed. While the massage was nice, it felt odd that the same foot cream I had already paid for was used on my hands. To make matters worse, the manicure was performed by the owner, who was also my cashier. I was initially charged $65 for the manicure (25 mins of labor/ service), but when I questioned it, the price was suddenly reduced to $55. Transparency and honesty with clients should be a top priority, rather than making them feel taken advantage of. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

Jasmine Alexis I came here because I previously had a really good experience with Kathy. Today I brought my partner in expecting a positive experience and was deeply disappointed. The ladies that took on our pedicure did not seem enthused at all. The lady who did my pedicure barely buffed or filed my nails and it showed once she started to paint them. They were really bumpy and uneven and in need of filing. My feet look dry and she barely put a pumice to my feet. It was a one two up and down stroke and she was done. As for my partner, we paid for the men’s pedicure which is significantly more expensive and he asked for white wine, nothing sweet and was given a mimosa. The man that was in here prior to us was still receiving a massage when my partners was already finishing up. It clearly states, 20 minute massage. I’m supposed to be paying $90 for my feet and hands and was offered nothing to drink, powder was left all over my clothes and not even an attempt was made to wipe me off. I’m really disappointed that I’m spending so much money for a very terrible experience and that my last good experience means nothing now.

Cynthia Flores I had given them a great review a while back but I’ve been consistently disappointed with service and quality the last few times. After this last service I will not be going back. I got a gel manicure a day before vacation and it looked nice. 2 days later (I was out of town already) one of the gels chipped. Then a few days after the gel edges started to lift a little and it just did not look nice anymore. I was gone for a week and went back to salon about 12 days after the service and I explained what happened but I was only offered excuses. No apologies and not even a discount for a redo. The tech said it was peeling because my nails were too thin (it had been 9 months since I had had gel and this had never happened to me before). But when he was removing the gel it literally just peeled away without any effort. That’s when he did say something about my base not being done right because he was able to just peel off. Still no apologies or discount. I paid for a new set plus gratuity. Photo is what they looked like on the day I went back to salon. There were a few chips on the other hand as well but not as much.

I had gel to remove and the tech used a mechanical rotating file to remove the gel and “trim” my cuticle. It hurt to say the least… She removed some of my natural nail in the process as they’re now thin and really tender. The manicure is terrible as I still have visible cuticle around the nails. She did a horrible job painting- see photo attached with a piece of hair stuck in the nail I didn’t see until looking at them when she finished. I quietly asked to speak to the manager but no discount was offered or provided. I didn’t accept their offer to redo the nail as my nails were already hurting so bad. Will never go back.

Thereal_RN Today I had the worst experience as a regular customer. Since I moved to Chula Vista I have been going to this nail salon for a year and 1/2 while Lisa was doing my nails I had a problem with the length based on her putting on the nails and doing the first cut I didn’t realize it would be that long. I told her after she cut it that I didn’t think it would be that long and would like a cut. She then told me to wash my hands to move in the next process and then I reminded her I needed a cut down she began to roll her eyes and catch an attitude saying why I didn’t ask for it before. I said I did and since that time until the end of my service she started to talk in her language to others, have an attitude and handle my hands roughly. At the end she ask if I was gonna add a tip and because I said no she had even more attitude. Like do your professionalism deserve a tip you should be embarrassed to ask for a tip after how u act. I am not a problematic person so I just let her finish and then leave I will not be returning to this nail salon over a small situation cause a customer to never return. my friend was also there and told me she could see a difference in how she started to treat me after stating I just need a cut down and felt she was rude. I work hard for my money and I am a paying customer I am not beginning you to do my nails. I will not be treated anyway in a business place that should be professional. This is very upsetting because I have been supporting this business from day one .

Samantha Pinnick Honestly this place is trash. The girl that did my nails put no effort into them she literally was watching a show and doing my nails .now I see why people pay to go to nail techs. I asked for a simple short French full set and she literally glided the nail file over each nail for like 10 seconds.i feel cheated. Not to mention they only lasted a week at 57$ plus a tip never going here again.2 thumbs down also it was around 10am so she had nothing else better to do. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tracy Moreno I do not recommend this salon. The lady that did my toes didnt even know how to do any toe design except one flower. The guy that did my fill was horrible. Nails are uneven and he cut my side pinky and was very rough. While I was getting my pedicure the nail guy is trying to do my nails Im turned sideways very uncomfortable didnt even get to enjoy my massage which was 2 strokes down each leg she didnt even massage my feet. I DO NOT recommend this salon.. Waste of money!!!

Giovanna Wonderful experience. I got a non gel mani and pedi and i was pleasantly surprised. The mani lasted longer than i though and didnt chip until after 2.5 weeks! And my toes well, they still look fresh! Maria was so wonderful and provided both services for me. Shes such a kind person and super sweet. I loved the complimentary wine and overall ambience. It was so relaxing.

Ashlee Westmoreland Nail tech seemed nice at first but is very pushy and rough if you don’t take her recommendations. She cut me after immediately starting my pedicure. From there she didn’t do much of what was listed on the service sheet. She didn’t clean my cuticles at all. She cut my nails filed them and immediately began painting them. After she painted them she was very rough in scrubbing my feet and going through the motions of applying the lotion literally took her 15min to do my pedicure. I finished before a lady that had been there long before me. She wanted to do an overlay for my manicure and I didn’t want that she insisted and I said no thank you. She began to roughly trim my nails and cuticles. She painted them tried to fix one that she smudged but did a bad job. I sat and let my nails dry for 10 min as instructed. My nails smudged as soon as I got in the car. Other techs seemed nice and thorough. However this is my first and last time at otay nails

Claudia Johnson I needed my nails done badly let me just say Im used to going to just my girl but I was far away from her and I could not wait to see her. I went to Otay nails from reading a review and Im definitely NOT disappointed.. I had an appt and didnt wait too long for them to help me out.. Megan did my full set and I love them .. unfortunately I did not get the name of the young lady that did my feet but she did an amazing job I would definitely recommend this nail shop my only wish is that I lived closer to the shop.

Rafamama Did a nice job with my french pedicure, but the leg massage was nothing more than a quick lotion rub, and I was surprised that they charge extra for full gel polish service when they barely used any for only the white tips. Overall average, but decent service.

SJ This is the second time that I have had the pleasure to get my nails done by Jade, and this time I just had to leave a review. She always does an exceptional job, she takes her time, and its an added plus that she comes in early. Thank you Jade, as always I love my nails, see you soon.

Tiana Cabading Nail tech was pushy and cut me and then didn’t even do a full manicure. No lotion or massage. Literally took her 10 mins to do my nails and I got the powder and gel. I will not recommend to friends or family. I will not be going back.

Alexis Harrell Waited over 30 minutes for a pedicure. No one informed me that it would be that long of a wait. The owner was EXTREMELY rude while giving a pedicure to another customer. She was rolling her eyes at her and was aggressively filing her toenails. She also grew angry when the lady didn’t want to buy a toe treatment. Will NEVER go back to this shop.

Valerie Duran They were extremely rude to my friend to the point that she cried. She is one of the sweetest people i know so she did not speak up about it. I have been to this salon myself and have never been satisfied. They overcharge and just provide a fast shitty service but charging as if it was more than what it is. Please do not support this business until they learn that taking care of their customers should be a priority.

ryan san nicolas Came here and had an appointment. I called in advanced to make sure they could accommodate me on my lunch break. I even left work earlier so I had time. The lady on the phone assured me an hour was enough time. I had a gift certificate as well. I come in they seat me right away. The lady was working on my nails when a man told me to go sit in the chair for my pedi. He also said someone will follow me there to finish my nails. I sat there for 15 minutes before anyone attended to me and the lady who was doing my nails started on someone else. It took over an hour for my pedi to be done. I reminded the lady doing my pedicure that I was on my lunch break and that someone needed to come and finish my nails. They start talking but no one ever acknowledges me. There were technicians sitting there on their phones or eating their lunches and it wasn’t even that busy. No one cared enough to finish the job. I ended up giving my gift card to them telling them I don’t even want change and left. Worst service an experience of my life. If I can give zero stars I would. I will never come back here again. The lady who did my nails broke my nail And they still had the nerve to charge me five dollars for them starting my nails and never even finishing. Worst business and I will tell everybody I know never to come here.

R. H. My daughter just called me literally crying over her experience today. She has arthritis and kept telling the tech she was hurting but the tech ignored her and kept pulling her hands back when she tried to pull away. She has very visible scars on her toes from surgeries and told the tech that it was tender, but she kept putting pressure directly on the scars and causing pain. Multiple techs came over to examine her feet and made her extremely uncomfortable. The icing on the cake was when she was charged for placement of HER OWN stickers!! She took her own sheet of stickers in and was charged an extra $1 for each sticker placement!! Thats ridiculous! And on top of that the tech argued and didnt even place them where my daughter asked her. She is literally embarrassed of the way her nails look. Needless to say we will never be back to this place. It is completely unacceptable to disregard a customer telling you that you are CAUSING PAIN! It is completely unacceptable to make a customer feel uncomfortable because everyone wants to examine her scars! Shame on you all! Update: Within 6 hours of getting her powder dip manicure, multiple nails had the powder chipping off. Plus the nails themselves had been filed so thin that the nails were breaking. Within 48 hours all but 2 nails had chipped and broken. She took pictures the day of the service and you could clearly see the places that were scabbing from bleeding during the manicure. She went back to the store to speak with who appears to be the owner or manager of the shop and requested a refund since she will now have to go somewhere else to have her nails repaired. She was told that it was her own fault and that she had probably picked at her nails!! Really?? So you post on here that you want your customers happy and come back to see you to fix it, but then when she comes back you proceed to shame her and argue?? I will be looking to file a report with the cosmetology board or whoever is appropriate because this type of behavior is beyond reprehensible. Im completely appalled.

Elizabeth Cortez I was happy at first, when i got seated only a chair away from my friend, but then the lady that I got was being very harsh with me. I kept trying to pull away as my hand was hurting, but the lady got irritated when I was trying to talk to her about it. Which cause me to get moved to the other side away from my friend who helps me feel better as i have social anxiety. But I wasnt mad I thought its fine I must be switching to a sweet lady who will probably more gental with me, wrong. The lady cut me 6 times and whenever there was a slight chance of me pulling away she would hold on tight and told me to stop moving, which would cause her nails to dig into me. I caught her a couple of times rolling her eyes and having other workers come over. She also told me it was going to be 80 dollars for my medium coffin nails. When I went to pay it showed 90 and she told me it was because she did better than the photo and that she was giving me a discount. She then ask me if I want to to leave a tip, I really wanted to leave and usually pay my nail techs 15 - 20 dollar tip, but since she wasnt the nice at all I put 6 dollars for tip. To which she left for a little bit then came back and let me pay. Throughout the experience she was very agressive, and the salon it self wasnt welcoming at all. There was one very sweet worker in there that asked me if I was all right while I was rinsing my hands, bless her heart because that small question is what got me through that experience. I wish the best for that worker. Im never coming back to this place as it really was a horrible experience, so please double think this place i wouldnt wish this on anyone.

Angelica Franklin I came in for a pedicure and asked for the 55 minute one which came with the massage. The appointment was not 55 minutes it was more like 35 minutes. They burn you with the wax they don’t even bother to ask if you’re ok. The thing that I liked was that they didn’t talk to me. She started to force a conversation but I answered and said nothing else to continue the conversation. Will I go back definitely not!

Valeria Bravo Garcia horrendous set of acrylics. by the time i was out of there my nails looked a week old. paint was lumpy and chunky and it seems like the paint didnt cover my nail all the way. i got one nail that was crooked af and the receptionist didnt acknowledge the things that upset me about my set. he completely dismissed everything i said. i waisted my time coming here again to get my nails fixed and they didnt want to fix them without charging me.

Paulina Ojeda I feel so bad coming on here and giving them one star, because I know this is their way of making a living. I’ve never in my life have had to ask to completely remove the acrylic application. Since the start when she was glueing on the tips, it was off. The acrylic application was horrible. She would apply it and drag it down, it was all lumpy very thin by the cuticle area, and very thick at the top, on the sides there was places where there wasnt acrylic. There were air bubbles everywhere, since the acrylic wasnt properly set, it was lifting. I kindly said to the lady that I didnt like my nails and if she can soak them off, because they were not properly applied. Of course she and another worker told me they werent done yet and to let her finish, I asked her again to please take them off and she continued her work. Took forever to drill them down and shape them due to the horrible application. Once she filed them down they still didnt look ok, and she asked if they were ok and I told her it doesn’t matter what I say because you’re still going to continue doing them. She continued to file them, trying to fix them. I appreciate her trying to fix her work but I was already embarrassed and felt completely uncomfortable, I’m pretty sure she felt the same way. I asked her again if she could please soak them off and I didnt want the service anymore because it was never done correctly in the first place. Finally she proceeded to soak them off. Another 30 minutes waisted. Another lady came and offered her manicure services to try to fix the issue, I appreciate it, but for someone to work as a nail tec and not now how to properly apply acrylic is concerning. I went there to relax and have my nails done and the whole time I felt extremely uncomfortable, by being upset and embarrassed. Now due to the soak off from acetone and all the filing my nails hurt! I was only able to record my left hand, but the right one was even worse. Please do not go here for a full set.

Ashley Riporti I rarely leave reviews but left today so shocked after receiving my bill. I was here three weeks ago for a fill with Elaine who did a great job and was friendly. I was happy with my nails and what I paid. I went back today and found out she does not work Thursdays but stayed anyway. I was charged extra for long nails (they are not long), I was also charged extra for “shaping - almond” though they were already that shape to start. Then $15 to add chrome powder which I would not have done knowing it would be such a high additional fee. I do not understand why there are so many extra fees! I had the same exact services done and somehow paid more this time. Just be weary of your tech I guess.

Astrid I was in a time crunch and went to this place to have my lifting dip powder polish removed and to have regular polish applied. I like the color of these nails, but the service was very rushed and nails are not well done. It wasnt very busy when I came in yesterday, and I asked to have the dip powder polish removed and to have regular polish. The start of the manicure went well, but it went downhill when I asked for a ballerina tip shape for my nails. The nail tech told me "no," and I was disappointed as I like that shape and had it done on short nails before. The electric filing was effective but harsh on some fingers. The soaking water was luke-warm, but nothing to fuss over too much. I picked my color, which matched the swatch to the T, and noticed as she applied it that she kept looking at the two new customers entering the salon. The painting got sloppier, and I felt rushed. The final nail on the coffin was watching the nail tech apply a gel top coat. I requested regular polish, and so I was expecting regular polish for all coats. At the end of my service the nail tech asked if I could move seats while my nails were still curing so that she could tend to a different client. I received no cuticle oil and just a "be careful" warning for my nails. As of now chipping has occurred on some nails. I did not tip, and I almost did not want to pay. Im aware that polish removal and regular polish application is simple to experienced nail techs, and so I can understand that it would be a quick session. However, the rushing, dismissal, and slapdash is what made this usual treat an unsavory experience. 09/07/24 Update: The old dip powder polish wasnt removed completely. I have a third picture showing the aftermath of removing the polish.

Sandra Rodriguez The place is very clean that’s why I decided to enter. I got a pedi and that was great. However, they didn’t tell me that some cream they used was an additional $10. They should say is extra. I only asked for a regular pedi nothing extra! Then I got a mani and the stylist cut my finger. It bled for a while and I didn’t even get color bc my finger wouldn’t stop bleeding n I had to leave. I will not return.
